Extremely rare pre-war candy card. Manuel Andrada was considered one of the best
polo players of his time. He was part of the Argentine polo team, which won the gold
medal at the 1936 Summer Olympics. He played both matches in the tournament, the
first against Mexico and the final against Great Britain. He was the oldest sportsman to
receive an Olympic gold medal according to the Guinness World Records (he was born
in 1890).
